Welcome freshmen. Welcome to MSU, and welcome to SN Style: Your handy-dandy weekly guide to campus fashion. Now look down at what you're wearing. Chances are, you just might be a victim of the freshman 15. Not those extra pounds (wait until the end of the year for that), but the 15 mistakes freshmen commonly make. Now we know school's been in session for only a few days, but for all you youngsters - and the older kids that still haven't learned - SN Style presents 15 reasons that we can tell you're a freshman:
1. Dressing for the bar when you're actually dressing for WRA
2. Really short, ruffled skirts
3. Your "Class of 2005" senior T-shirt
4. The overwhelming odor of TAG After Hours because you forgot to shower
5. The white tee/white doo-rag/white Air Force Ones combo
6. "Vote for Pedro" merchandise
7. Burberry purses
8. Fake Burberry purses
9. Your extra loud ringtone in class, which is probably a My Chemical Romance or Omarion tune
10. Lanyards
11. Backpacks that contain every single book you own in life
12. Class rings
13. Popped collars
14. Traveling in large groups with people that dress as the above
And last, but not least:
15. The maps, which seem to be permanently glued to your hands
Now that you know what to watch out for, hopefully SN Style can break you of these habits early on.
